Searching Your Email Messages

Here’s How

1. Perform a basic search. (Remind me how.)

2. Click the Photo View link.

   

   The Photo View page narrows the search results and displays thumbnails of attached photos and images.

   

3. Click a thumbnail to view the full-size image.

   

4. Place the cursor over the text link below the thumbnail to learn more about the associated message.

   

5. Click the text link to view the message associated with the image.

   

6. To save one or more images to your computer, do the following:

   • Click the check box next to one or more thumbnails, then click the Save to Computer button.

     

     Tip: You can check the box next to Check All above or below the thumbnails to check all of the displayed thumbnails at once. You can click the Clear All link below the thumbnails to remove all check marks.

     Yahoo! Mail scans the attachments for viruses, then opens the Download page showing the files ready to be downloaded.

   • Click the Zip & Download Files button (or the Download button, if you selected only one file).

     

     The File Download window appears.

   • Click the Save button.

     The Save As window appears.

   • Locate the folder where you want to save the file, then click the Save button.

     A message informs you that the file or files were saved in the selected location.
